An Alternative to Police Response
When you subscribe to Ring Protect Pro and enroll in professional monitoring, Ring can request police response in case of an emergency if your Ring Alarm is triggered while armed in Home or Away mode. You may be interested in an alternative response when an alarm is triggered by a security sensor or detector device at your home or business. Choose the responders you would like to show up by setting an alternative to police response.
Why Change Who You Want to Respond?
When choosing your responder, you decide who the Monitoring Center will call to request dispatch. You may live in a community that offers private security or another option for receiving an emergency response. In some cases, choosing a different option may provide a faster and more efficient response.
You must be enrolled in professional monitoring and your Ring Alarm must be Armed to receive a response. You must contact Ring Alarm support to update who you want to send instead of police.
How to Setup Your Alternative Response to Police
- Contact. Inform the Ring Alarm representative that you would like to update your police response option.
- Have the name and phone number of the security guard or other responder that you want dispatched other than your local police.
